Two Frankfurt Airport employees have died after contracting malaria, with six confirmed cases in total. Authorities believe the mosquitoes carrying the disease arrived via an incoming flight. While malaria typically causes hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, fatalities are less common with prompt diagnosis and treatment. The four remaining infected employees are currently receiving hospital care. This marks an unusual instance of local malaria transmission within Europe. Airport officials are investigating the source and implementing measures to prevent further spread, though details of these measures haven’t been released. Health authorities are monitoring the situation closely to contain the outbreak.
